Campbell University Men's Basketball

McGeehan is in his fourth year as head mens basketball coach at Campbell University and is on his way to leading the Camels to contender status in the Big South Conference. His 2015-16 club opened the year with the programs best start since 2011-12.  CU went 2-0 against Southern Conference schools and improved to 5-1 vs. SoCon members under McGeehans guidance.  The Camels also won at Conference USA member Charlotte.  CU was one of the most improved free throw shooting teams in the country from 2014-15, moving up 230 places to No.-108 with a 71.7 team percentage.  The Camels also posted the programs largest road winning margin in league play since re-joining the Big South in 2011-12 with a 30-point victory at Presbyterian.  CU set a school Division I era for field goal accuracy (74.5) in a game by making 38-of-51 shots in a 110-66 dismantling of Allen. McGeehan and his staff landed 2015-16 Big South Conference freshman of the year Chris Clemons, who ranked seventh among the nations freshman scoring leaders (18.5 points per game) and set a school freshman record with 556 points. Seven Camels were named to the Big South Conference Presidential Honor Roll, while Jacob Talbert was named to the Big South all-academic team.  Senior D.J. Mason completed his career ranked 19th among the schools Division I era all-time scoring leaders. Among Campbells victims in McGeehans second year (2014-15) was Colonial Athletic Association regular season champion UNC Wilmington. In his first season (2013-14), McGeehan guided his squad to the most league wins ever by a CU coach in his first year at the Division I level.  While implementing a spread motion attack on offense, Campbell finished 14th in the nation in 3-point field goals made and 13th in 3-pointers attempted.  In the regular season, Campbell was second among 349 Division I school in 3-point attempts. Campbell assisted on nearly 60 percent of its baskets, supporting the spread motions emphasis on spacing, ball movement and unselfish play.  Campbell shot 66.7 percent from the floor in its win at Appalachian State, marking the programs third-highest single-game accuracy rate at the Division I level (since 1977-78). Also in McGeehans first season in Buies Creek, the Camels went 3-0 against Southern Conference members, had three victories against teams that moved on to post-season play and set a new single-game attendance record at Gore Arena. A greater-than-capacity crowd of 3,220 filled 3,095-seat Gore Arena on Feb. 1, 2014 for the first-ever nationally-televised game from Buies Creek.  ESPNU aired Campbells contest against eventual Big South champ Coastal Carolina.  The Camels were again chosen to appear on ESPNU less than a month later when they traveled to High Point. CU split two games in 13-14 against the North Division champs. McGeehan spent eight years (2005-13) on the staff of head coach Chris Mooney at Richmond, where the Spiders advanced to the NCAA tournament twice and three times to the College Basketball Invitational tournament.  He was promoted from assistant to associate head coach prior to the 2008-09 campaign. Among the highlights for the Richmond program during McGeehans time on staff was consecutive NCAA tournament berths, including a trip to the 2011 NCAA Sweet 16.  The Spiders were ranked in the national top-25 polls in 2010 and set a school record with 29 victories one year later when they won the Atlantic-10 Conference championship. Kevin McGeehan is a true basketball coach and teacher, says Campbell athletics director Bob Roller.  Kevin has been a part of building programs at all levels since the mid-1990s, and he is extremely well positioned to take Campbell Basketball where our alumni, student body, and supporters want to go. Richmonds senior class in 2012 tied a school record with 91 victories over a four-year span.  The 2013 team advanced to the CBI quarterfinals after matching a school standard with 15 home victories. As I look at the beauty of the campus, the amazing growth in academic programs, the fantastic Pope Convocation Center and the spirit and passion which I have felt in every person I have met, I feel like we have a formula for success right here, said McGeehan.  I look forward to the challenge of leading this team as we look to become the flagship program in the Big South Conference. Teamed with Coach Mooney from the mid-90s until accepting the Campbell job in April 2013, McGeehan played a vital role in the resurgence of the basketball fortunes at the Air Force Academy and Richmond. Mooney and McGeehan started coaching together at Lansdale Catholic High School in the mid-1990s, before moving to Beaver College (now Arcadia University).  When Mooney left Beaver College to go to Air Force, McGeehan took over the head coaching duties for two years before moving to Springfield High School in Erdenheim, Pa., where he was also a guidance counselor. After Mooney became the head coach at Air Force in 2004-05, McGeehan joined him Colorado Springs.  He helped lead Air Force to an 18-12 overall record in 2004-05, which marked the second most wins in school history. The Falcons led the entire nation in scoring defense and finished second in the country in fewest turnovers per game in 2004-05. A 1995 graduate of Gettysburg, McGeehan was the captain of the mens basketball team his senior season. He received his bachelors degree in psychology and then earned a dual masters degree in secondary and higher education and counseling from West Chester in 1999. In addition to being the head coach at Beaver College and Springfield High School, McGeehan has been director of Summer Basketball Camps for Upper Dublin Township, Springfield Township and Beaver College. McGeehan and his wife, Melissa, were married in 2004 and have two sons, Jack and Connor, and a daughter Grace.
